    Looks like the actual version might be a bit brighter which improves it somewhat.

    @KiwiMurph Looks like a shattered window maybe the correct design then. or a very bad tile design in a bathroom.

      @KiwiMurph I thought they switched at the end of the 90s as the Chiefs still had blue on their kit.

      @Yeetyaah They switched from the 1999 season. I actually went to a Chiefs home game (vs NSW) at Albany.

        I'm willing to wager a substantial sum that marketing tried to justify that horrid design rather than went to a designer with those words first.

        The person responsible for that should have their crayons taken away.

            The Chiefs were meant to be based in Harbour. Most of the unions that made up the Chiefs wanted Hamilton and they won an appeal against the NZRFU

              Seeing Beaudie in a Blues uniform makes me feel a little better about the jerseys. It's too bad we have to win our title(s) in this jersey though.πŸ™‚

                @Stargazer what a crock, how the marketing team sold that concept πŸ™„

                Amazing how they can take a simple rugby jersey and try to justify why it looks shit.

                Was this only a training Jersey? One of the better looking ones IMO.

                  Crusaders marketing team one, "we just convinced the crusaders that changing from a badass knight to two sets of cocks and balls touching was a great design idea! Top that"

                  Blues marketing team "hold my beer"

                  Have the canes unleashed this years atrocity yet? I'm setting my expectations to low based on that thing in the picture.

                          Yeah I don't understand the fuss about the Canes one. It's just your usual stark yellow Canes Jersey with a bit of black stuff on it.

                                Does anyone recognise any of the wtg/acadamy/injury cover players in the video above? I wondered if the player with dreads second from the right in the 'wedding photo' at 2m35s was the young Auckland halfback Taufa Funaki ?

                                    @nzzp yeah they all seem to put it in pre-season, so comes down to other issues that see the results fall the way they do.

                                          @Daffy-Jaffy that drone footage is amazeballs. Looks brutal (like most years) πŸ˜„

                                          I liked the one where Ofa was having to bear crawl up One Tree Hill. Look hideous.

                                          That was quality brutality, eh. Glamorous life of a pro athlete.
